We are thrilled to announce that our campaign to gather artist opt outs has resulted in 78 million artworks being opted out of AI training. This establishes a significant precedent towards realizing our vision of consenting AI, and we are just getting started!

Opt out requests came through individual artists registered through , and also through collaborations with platforms committed to representing the interests of their artists.

We partnered with  @ArtStationHQ to ensure opt out requests that have been made on their site are honored in our API, and will not be present in future AI model training with participating organizations.

These requests are now available to orgs training AI through our API, and were made in advance of the training of Stable Diffusion V3. We commend  @StabilityAI  for being the first to honor artist requests, and hope that the success of this pilot encourages more to step up.

We provided these services for free. We believe that consenting data will be of great benefit to both AI organizations and the people who these systems are trained on. We recently launched human verified artist opt-in, and have more tools and partnerships in the works.

If you are an artist looking to opt-in or opt-out of AI training, sign up for an account at A human will verify those artworks come from the right person!
